Let's start a HIGLANDER SOUNDTRACK campaign

New York... Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew Yoooooooooooooooooooooooooorrrrrk...

i wish they would do it

Yes I'm weird, but it's not negatively intentioned, I assure you.

The box sets have already taken three years and there is still no sign of release.

The Highlander music has been released. It's on the DVD, the VHS, and a CD bootleg.

That's the reason why I felt, in my opinion, that my own, personal preference, would be that the Box set would be ahead of Highlander on my personal list.

And the promotion for the DVDs and DVD-As has so far consisted of.........

Half an hour recording a TV ad.

I would MUCH rather have the Box sets. Though I'd like the Highlande soundtrack as well. ;)

Instead of sitting around talking about it, why don't we just make our own?

I'll do the high bits in 'One Year Of Love'.

You'll cry your eyes out.

LOL

P_G, I'm quoting myself for you to read (again):

'All versions obviously from the film, but in full lenght and with the actor speeches, background sound and ambient effects mainly removed - those you won't find in bootlegs (at least complete and without those noisy artifacts)'.

There's no need to say that you won't find the music in this form on HIGHLANDER VHSs or DVDs. (Have you heard HIGHLANDER's version of A Kind Of Magic somewhere in the new LIVE AT WEMBLEY DVD? It's not the same as in the film. Is it extended? Not really, it was edited for the film. I expect those original versions, the 'unedited' ones. They have them, I know this for sure).

And if you think that the time that QUEEN have spent in the promotion of their recent products is just half an hour... well... forget about it, OK? Or are you going to make a point on them not being busy?

Oh Godddddddddddddddddddddddddd

Look, I'm sorry I messed with your precious fuckin thread.

I also apologise for being able to back up my comments with logic.

I can't be bothered to respond to you in detail, but let's look at this one bit.

Earlier, you said that promotion for the DVDs was a good reaosn for the delay.

I pointed out that they hadn't really done any.

You now appear to be saying that they're too busy to promote the DVDs.

Get your story straight, would you?

I'm not actually angry with you, I'm just having a bad day on this board which I used to enjoy. Then again, the board used to enjoy me a litle more too...

Firstly, there's no need to be unpolite. This is a nice thread, and I respect your comments (and enjoy them ocasionally in the forum).

There was a little misunderstanding, and I'm the one to blame. When I've said: "[...] which ALSO require time from the group (not only in production but also in promotion)" I meant that they're busy with ALL their recent stuff (spreading the musical, the 46664 project and ALSO the DVDs).

By the way, in my last message I'm NOT saying that they were too busy to promote the DVDs, I'm just asking if you really think that they've spent little time in promotion of their recent products (which include the musical, the releases and, well, 46664).

P_G, I'm not angry with you either. I'd love the box sets to be released as much as you. And I love logic too, so don't try to get me into any fallacy. ;-) Have you read Sokal's 'Impostures Intellectuelles'?

Hey, Wilki!

I support your initiative, and thank you for that.

Should somebody else open another thread for another good petition, I'd most probabley sign it as well.

And I also share your view that the ambient in this board should be lighter.

Cheers,

Ogre-

Thanks, Ogre!

Surprised when movie was re-released "20 anniversary" ( I think ) the record company handling the soundtrack missed the boat. Could have made millions ( and millions )

The closest thing we have to a soundtrack is the MAGIC album.

The ending credits "magic" version is different from the album version. Was this version done first, then re-done for the studio release.

Hi johnny. Yes, the version you hear during the end credits is Roger's original idea for the song. The story goes that he was away somewhere and Freddie had the idea to make some changes and Roger I guess approved (or couldn't win the argument maybe!) so it was reworked for the album.

There is a longer version of the original played in the background of the photo gallery on the official 2 disc Wembley DVD.
